WATT Works will transform Fort Bend County into a national model for clean, affordable, and resilient energy by leveraging bulk purchasing power and cutting-edge solar technology.
Fort Bend WATT Works will revolutionize energy access by uniting 100,000+ households and businesses to purchase solar systems at wholesale prices, slashing costs by 50–70% compared to retail, through bulk procurement, vetted installers, and streamlined financing. This initiative will deliver $1.50–$2.50/watt installations, reduce utility bills by 30–60%, and create 10,000+ local jobs while building a decentralized energy network to withstand grid failures. By prioritizing underserved communities and leveraging federal tax credits, WATT Works will make solar affordable for all, offset 750,000+ metric tons of CO₂ annually, and position Fort Bend as a national leader in clean energy resilience.
